Biografi

I’ve been rock, ice and alpine climbing for some twenty years. Below are some of my more memorable adventures. When not climbing, I’m married with cats and a physics professor at Mount Royal University in Calgary.

First ascent of Khani Basa Sar (6440 m, with Ian Welsted) via the southwest rib (AI4+) and attempt on the south face of the unclimbed Pumari Chhish East (ca. 6900 m, with Eamonn Walsh and Ian Welsted), Jutmaru Glacier, Karakoram, Pakistan.

First ascent of the Direct Start to The Wild Thing (VI M7 WI5), Mt. Chephren, Canadian Rockies, with Dana Ruddy and Eamonn Walsh. This was also the first single-push ascent of a Canadian Rockies grade VI in winter.
